The snow has stopped in Washtenaw County, but this morning’s storm could still make a mess of the afternoon commute for area drivers.

Washtenaw County dispatchers reported crashes were still being reported on area freeways as of 2 p.m. Wednesday, but no freeways were closed at that time. Traffic was slow near Jackson Road on eastbound Interstate 94 after a crash involving semi trucks, but that crash was being cleared up by about 2:30 p.m.

In the city of Ann Arbor, the roads downtown were still covered in slush and snow just before the afternoon commute. Ann Arbor police Lt. Renee Bush said many of the crashes reported in the morning involved drivers who didn’t adjust to weather conditions.

“Most of them were not driving slow enough for the weather,” she said. “They were not compensating enough and striking other motor vehicles.”

Officials from the Washtenaw County Road Commission and City of Ann Arbor Field Operations were not immediately available for comment on road conditions Wednesday.

Stan Kirton, director of public works for the city of Ypsilanti, said all the major roads in the city have been cleared and the afternoon commute should be OK in the city.

"All of our major roads have been cleared. The snow finally stopped about 1 p.m. and we were able to clean up the major roads," he said.

Many local roads haven't been cleared of snow to this point, Kirton said. The decision hadn't been made as of 3:15 p.m. Wednesday to keep crews working overtime in order to get to the neighborhood roads. He said crews have been working many hours recently.

"If not today, then first thing tomorrow," Kirton said.

The Michigan Department of Transportation reported slippery road conditions on most area freeways. A Michigan State Police official reported crashes were still being reported regularly.

The snow caused many after-school activities in the county to be canceled, and area superintendents expressed regret at keeping school open Wednesday. Many officials said the storm seemed bearable when the decision to have school was made in the early morning hours, but the storm worsened as the day progressed.

Rachel Kulik, meteorologist at the National Weather Service, said a report from Ann Arbor indicated 4.6 inches of snow fell on the city, while southeast of Ann Arbor got 4.9 inches.

However, the more eastern areas of southeastern Michigan were hit very hard. A report from Ypsilanti showed the city got 7.8 inches of snow, while Detroit Metro Airport got 8 inches as well.

Luckily, it doesn’t appear more snow is coming into the area, but temperatures were expected to dropt to 5 degrees tonight, with the wind chill making it feel like minus 8 degrees.

“This is it,” Kulik said.
